The appetizer course was very good. The staff is friendly.

Specifically, the food was poor. The chicken course was so dry and tough it was inedible. The filet was unseasoned and so overcooked and dry, it was difficult to cut.. The risotto was undercooked and crunchy. This is a culinary school so the food should have been perfect. The wines were ordinary andthe pairings did not compliment the dishes. An email to the chef went unanswered.

Too many people in the class. Only 5 tables with 30 plus people in the class. Was not the hands-on cooking class as advertised. I actually left after about 45 minutes.

Chef Pascal made the experience personal for us.

We book our reservation online which apparently isn't the best method. We were accommodated, graciously, however.
Really enjoyed ourselves.

That it was half price as it was, in NO way, worth what it was suppose to cost....$200.00!!!!! Couple at our table also agreed on what I have written. The meal and wines were good, but not worth the price.

Advertised as a CLASS but was just really a dinner with wine pairing. The guy presenting did not seem that knowledgeable about the wines, although pairings were very good. Wine portions were very small. Guy pouring and presenting was sweating profusely which kind of took away from the whole thing. His hair was dripping wet. Realize it is not his fault, but it was kind of gross. Also, time advertised on the coupon I printed out was wrong and it was lucky I called them as it was an hour earlier.

We've gone to the Classic Cooking Academy multiple times. Whether just a small group or for date night, it's fun to cook something new and then be able to enjoy the meal. The only issue we had this last visit occurred during check in. I had called months in advance to book my deal for two individuals. For some reason they had me listed as one person (assuming they were confused with "one voucher?"). They did allow both of us to stay, but then ended up with two individuals without seats (maybe it wasn't just our numbers that were incorrect). After the cooking portion of the class they did pull out another table for the group of three girls to sit at, but it seemed a bit disorganized. This is why I marked down the booking and staff/service. Chef Pascal is amazing though and despite the seating confusion we would go back again.

This was a great experience. Immediately upon sitting down you are offered red or white wine or beer. Nicely presented and total madness when we started trying our hand at actually recreating the dishes from the demonstration. Everyone dug in and voila we had a delicious meal. This was a very relaxing and enjoyable time.

The multicourse meal and unlimited beverages was a great value.

The idea was to learn cooking skills, yet I do not feel there was enough hands on experience. There were too many people in the class and limited stations/materials.

Doing some of the meal prep.

There was more emphasis on drinking wine and less on improving our cooking skills & technique. I drink an occasional beer, and my partner does not drink at all. So we really felt it was a bad deal for the money. It was hap-hazardous in the kitchen, not organized or discipline.

The cooking instructor's humor made it an especially fun evening. The food we prepared was excellent and the wine generous. Was a very fun evening.
